Clarifying Shampoo For Cleanliness

Clarifying shampoo is the perfect tool to help remove impurities from the hair and build-up. It's becoming more commonly used by people who are looking to detox their hair or remove chemicals and others nasties that layer on the hair cuticles. Learn more about clarifying shampoos and when to use them.

Stubborn oils, water deposits and silicones can be difficult to remove from the hair. Sometimes a regular shampoo just isn't enough to remove it all. The ingredients found within clarifying shampoos are stronger than that of others, making it more effective at removing dirt and oil.

Most importantly, having a good hair care routine will help give you the best results.

Detox regularly With Clarifying Shampoo

To remove hair concerns like oily hair, using a clarifying shampoo will work in your favour. It works to banish excess oils and remove stubborn chemicals and product that regular shampoo struggles to remove.

A good routine is a must but changes widely, depending on your hair type. If you have dry hair, consider only detoxing once or twice a month. A moisture shampoo will help to hydrate your hair while a detox shampoo does the opposite.

For oily hair types, consider using a clarifying shampoo once a week or every few washes. If you use lots of products like hairspray and styling creams, you can help stop and potential build-up from happening.

Some hairdressers will recommend using a detox treatment prior to a colouring service to allow the colour to better penetrate the hair molecules. If you're unsure if this is right for you, consider speaking to your hairdresser for the best advice or contact our friendly staff.

Cleansing shampoos are stronger than regular shampoos and are formulated to remove oils and stubborn chemicals from your hair. If you have oily hair you may benefit from using a clarifying shampoo as frequently as once per week. Whereas if you have dry hair, you may want to limit your application of a clarifying shampoo to once per month. After using a clarifying shampoo, consider moisturising your hair with a hydrating mask or treatment.

You might want to use a clarifying shampoo outside of your regular hair care routine if you have been exposing your hair to chemicals such as chlorine (e.g. swimming in a pool), your hair is feeling oily, or if you have a buildup of styling products such as gel or mousse in your hair.
